KSA Library - The Spartanburg Chapter is in the process of starting a library at the Masonic Temple. Efforts are underway to obtain a bookcase with lockable doors to keep the books secure. A system will be developed where a few brothers will have access to the bookcase and can assist Scottish Rite members in checking out a book. This will include a log of each book and who has checked out the book. KSA resources are limited so members are being asked to loan some books from their personal collection to the KSA library once it is up and running.
